net: Remove unused parameter from fill method in fib_rules_ops.

2009-05-21T00:26:23+00:00

The netlink message header (struct nlmsghdr) is an unused parameter in
fill method of fib_rules_ops struct.  This patch removes this
parameter from this method and fixes the places where this method is
called.

netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic

2009-02-25T07:18:28+00:00

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

net: fib_rules ordering fixes.

2008-11-08T06:52:34+00:00

We need to setup the network namespace state before we register
the notifier.  Otherwise if a network device is already registered
we get a nasty NULL pointer dereference.

[NET] NETNS: Omit sock->sk_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:55+00:00

Introduce per-sock inlines: sock_net(), sock_net_set()
and per-inet_timewait_sock inlines: twsk_net(), twsk_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.
